Novosibirsk Late March '14

Image
Hey there, I'm writing from Novosibirsk where I'm on CIU assignment. The city gave the impression of a very spacious place. With wide streets and many new business-like buildings in the centre. I live just here, at Hilton DoublreTree hotel. My visit is for two nights so I'll see more tomorrow. I'm also happy that Olia and Andy enjoy the new car. Yanochka also looks great on it. Love and hugs to all my nearest...

Late. March in Moscow

Image
Hey there, This winter and March are unusually warm and snowless. Late March was very unusual too - on Friday it was cold (-10) and showy but Saturday and Sunday were  very warm and sunny, + 10-12C. Marina, Kostya and Stepka visited us on their new car. Tomorrow I'm leaving for Oryol for CIU assignment. Do not expet it'd be good, but who knows. Love and hugs to all my nearest..

Tbilisi in mid March

Image
Hey there, Here I am in Tbilisi on CIU assignment trip. It's only one- night- and-a-day trip and I was unable to enjoy Nanra, Sofa, Solomka, Natashka and Zurik's company for more than one evening but I liked seeing them and enjoyed Tbilisi's sun a lot. It's not green here and I was upset by the sight of some ugly buildings, erected by Saalashvili, at Avlabar. But Tbilisi is my nativ town and I felt this atmosphere, typical of the place. Hope to come here again. Love and hugs to all of my nearest...

Murmansk on March 8th

Image
Hey there, here I am in Murmansk, Kola Peninsula. I'm here on  CIU assignment and I looked at the city   from another angle as before I'd been here during Polar Night (some 4-5 years ago). So it was dark, but now it's very different and special. it's surrounded by mountains and this makes everything  look special. I liked the view of the city, but was disappointed at the fact that the fish (which Murmansk is famous for) can be bought in a shop with the strange name "O'KEY". Have a look at some pics. Love and hugs...

Stasik, Klimka and Katya in new Maryino flat

Image
Hey there. today we've been to see Stasik and his family in their new flat in Maryino. it is only one bedroom flat on the 9th floor of a 10 storey block of flats. It is small but well done with fresh design and repairing, which Stas and Katya's brother have done. Looks good and they are happy there as it is their first place to start living independently. Klimka is a lovely smart boy who can say some words and is really funny. Katya is a good wife and Mom. Thanks God for them!
